iOS 9 to focus on under-the-hood upgrades
iOS 9 to focus on under-the-hood upgrades
Every year Apple delivers a major update of iOS for its iPhone and iPad devices. Current rumors suggest that iOS 9, codenamed Monarch, will focus on under-the-hood improvements with a major focus on stabilizing and optimizing the operating system. According to 9to5mac, the rapid pace of iOS releases and feature introductions has taken a toll on the operating system’s overall performance, recently leading to numerous complaints from long-time Apple users and regular customers alike.
As such, iOS 9 engineers are putting a “huge” focus on fixing bugs, maintaining stability, and boosting performance for the new operating system, rather than solely focusing on delivering major new feature additions. Apple will also continue to make efforts to keep the size of the OS and updates manageable, especially for the many millions of iOS device owners with 16GB devices.
This wouldn't be the first time Apple has made a move like this. In 2009, Apple decided to improve and polish up its OS X desktop software, releasing Snow Leopard with a focus on speed, reliability, and stability.
